Bold deep blues, striking reds, and crisp black typography give this Victorian-era advertisement an unmistakable presence. The sharp geometric packaging design, wrapped in a vibrant red label with intricate zigzag border detailing, feels both elegant and industrial—a perfect blend of function and ornamentation that defined 19th-century commercial design. Originally printed using chromolithography, this artwork carries the rich, layered colors typical of high-end advertising of the time.

Once an everyday household staple, Scourene Soap was produced by the Simonds Soap Company of New York and sold for just 5 cents per cake—a budget-friendly alternative to pricier competitors. Now, this advertisement has been carefully expanded and refined, preserving its bold contrast and vintage charm for modern framing and display. A striking piece of antique advertising history, perfect for lovers of Victorian-era ephemera, vintage typography, and bold graphic design.

More about this wall art poster print:

A glimpse into the golden age of Victorian advertising, this Scourene Soap print revives a piece of 19th-century commercial history. Manufactured by the Simonds Soap Company of New York, Scourene was an affordable alternative to pricier cleaning soaps, sold for just 5 cents per cake, nearly half the price of its competitors. Its marketing embraced the ornate typography, bold colors, and graphic precision characteristic of the Victorian period, making it both an effective sales tool and a striking example of early advertising art.

The original artwork, likely produced using chromolithography, would have been printed on thin cardstock or newsprint, making surviving examples rare. This expanded and enhanced reproduction preserves the rich deep blues, bold reds, and striking black lettering that made the original packaging so visually compelling. The contrast of sharp geometric structure with the delicate Victorian zigzag border detailing highlights the era’s obsession with ornamentation in even the most practical designs.

Perfect for collectors of Victorian ephemera, vintage advertising, and antique packaging, this high-quality print brings a piece of 19th-century commercial design into the modern space. Whether as a nod to early American commerce, an appreciation of vintage typography, or simply a bold graphic statement, it offers a rare glimpse into the way brands once captured attention—without a single digital tool.
